Resonant Photovoltaic Effect in Doped Magnetic Semiconductors

Abstract:

The rectified nonlinear response of a clean, time-reversal symmetric, undoped semiconductor to an ac electric field includes a well known intrinsic shift current. We show that when Kramers degeneracy is broken, a distinct second order rectified response appears due to Bloch state anomalous velocities in a system with an oscillating Fermi surface. This effect, which we refer to as the resonant photovoltaic effect, produces a resonant galvanic current peak at the interband absorption threshold in doped semiconductors or semimetals with ap ...

Constraining the top quark effective field theory using the top quark pair production in association with a jet at future lepton colliders

PARTICLES AND ACCELERATORS

Abstract: Our main aim in this paper is to constrain the effective field theory describing the top quark couplings through the e?e+?tt~+jet process. The analysis is carried out considering two different center-of-mass energies of 500 and 3000 GeV including a realistic simulation of the detector response and the main sources of background processes. The expected limits at 95% CL are derived on the new physics couplings such as tt~gamma, tt~Z, and tt~g for each benchmark scenario using the dileptonic tt~ final state. We show that the 95% CL limits on dimensionless Wilson coefficients considered in this analysis could be probed down to 10?4.

Reverse Dance in an External Flow: Meet Onsager again!

PHYSICS

Abstract:

A driven fan that spins to create a flow of air would conversely rotate, if we turn it off, and subject it to a strong external flow. This is a classic example of reciprocity between cause and effect, in a life scale experiment. In small scale hydrodynamics, however, when the Reynolds number is quite low, a swimmer (pump) would generate a net motion (flow) only if its constructing parts non-trivially follow a pattern of motion which breaks time reciprocity. Here, considering a simple and well-controlled system of two micron-sized beads, we investigate if the mentioned exchange of physical cause and effect also holds ...

Tameness for Set Theory

School
MATHEMATICS

We show that (assuming large cardinals) set theory is a tractable (and we dare to say tame) first order theory when formalized in a first order signature with natural predicate symbols for the basic definable concepts of second and third order arithmetic, and appealing to the model-theoretic notions of model completeness and model companionship. Specifically we develop a general framework linking generic absoluteness results to model companionship and show that (with the required care in details) a $Pi_2$-property formalized in an appropriate language for second or third order number theory is forcible from some T extending ZFC + large car ...
